LIMERICK — A child being able to run around in the sunshine on days as beautiful as those we’ve recently had is just an ordinary occurrence in life for most.

For Wyatt Daring, however, a trip outside is a risky proposition that calls for special medical equipment and parental care.

Wyatt, 5, has an incredibly rare form of the genetic disorder called ichthyosis. Essentially, Wyatt is “missing a layer of skin,” his mother, Teri said.

Wyatt has no sweat glands, so controlling his body temperature is difficult. While an average person’s body temperature is typically 98.6 degrees, Wyatt’s hovers around 100. As such, playing in the sun isn’t easy for him any day when temperatures might climb above 75 degrees or so. The only way he can go outside is if he wears a special vest that contains cooling packs that help combat warm temperatures.

Unfortunately, Wyatt doesn’t have that vest anymore.

Someone stole it.

“We grew up in the middle of nowhere and I’m so used to this neighborhood (sense of) being able to trust people,” Teri said. “I’m bad at locking my car.”

While she was shopping for her groceries, someone entered the family van and stole a backpack Teri always keeps with her, essentially Wyatt’s “travel bag.”

Inside the backpack was Wyatt’s vest, which he was able to get through a car show fundraiser in Upper Frederick two years ago.

Teri said new vests cost around $700. Luckily, the cooling packs that go with the vest were at home, since each one of those cost more than $80.

Without the vest that was stolen, Wyatt now has to wear one that his family was able to get four years ago. Obviously, a growing 5-year-old doesn’t fit well into a vest he wore when he was still a baby.

“He’s getting kind of annoyed with it,” Teri said.

The Schwenksville family has five other children and a baby grandson to look after. Teri is unable to get a job because of muscular distrophy, so money for a new cooling vest isn’t exactly easy to come by. Teri’s husband, Steve, works at the State Correctional Institution at Graterford and Teri gets some money for her disability, but losing the stolen vest could have been financially crippling.

That’s where Waltz Golf Farm comes in.

Last July 4, Teri asked owner Bill Waltz if they could park on a private access road to watch the annual fireworks at the complex. To prevent overheating and still watch the fireworks, Wyatt needed to be in air conditioning.

Waltz allowed them to, and his daughter, Lisa, an actress currently on “General Hospital” asked if anything more could be done for Wyatt.

“He’s a sweet little boy,” Lisa said. “She was just describing what one day is like and I don’t know how you do that.”

After Wyatt’s vest was taken, Teri decided to take Lisa up on her offer.

The Waltzes are hosting Wyatt Day Tuesday, Oct. 2. All sales for Waltz Golf Farm’s two miniature golf courses from 3 to 8 p.m. will go toward Wyatt and his family to replace the stolen vest.

“This cooling vest is essential to him just going outside,” Lisa said.

Additionally, donation jars will be set out for those not interested in mini golf and raffles for items like a giant pumpkin from Five Sons Farm or Phillies memorabilia donated by Richie Ashburn Jr. will be conducted, according to Tiffany Butler, manager of Waltz Golf Farm.

The money raised will go toward getting a new vest for Wyatt and the other expenses incurred because of Wyatt’s condition.

Because Wyatt is missing a layer of skin, he can’t retain any moisture. As such, he constantly has to use lotion. His hands and feet crack badly, as well, so he needs to put Aquaphor on them every night and bandage them.
